“And suddenly you know;
It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.”
-Eckhart Tolle
About the Retreat
We (Catherine -the founder of Village Art and Yoga - and Lee Ann - the founder of Daring Discoveries) have been taking each other's classes and offerings since 2016. This retreat will be a magical new beginning of bringing our work together out into the world.
This is a joyful and compassionate pilgrimage to the mountains in Spain. Nestled in an ecological retreat house made with love, with the sounds of sheep grazing on the hills, we will dive deep into art, yoga, and nature.

If you've ever had an experience with Catherine as your guide you know she pours her whole body and soul into her offerings. And with Lee Ann you know no detail has been missed and her mind has been hard at work to make everything flow and align to support you.
We hope you will say HELL YES to this ahmazing adventure that comes from all of our work, and our whole hearts.

“No, we don't need more sleep. It's our souls that are tired, not our bodies. We need nature. We need magic. We need adventure. We need freedom. We need truth. We need stillness. We don't need more sleep, we need to wake up and live."

MEET YOUR RETREAT GUIDES:
Catherine Rumph (left above)
After receiving her Bachelors Degree in Communications from Loyola University New Orleans, Catherine’s career in Sales and Marketing skyrocketed. She became a top sales producer for one of the nation’s largest home builders. Catherine quickly learned “success” was simple - the harder you work, the more money you make. Unfortunately, that lifestyle wasn’t conducive to creating a healthy family. Giving birth to her three children led Catherine to drastically redefine her ideas of a successful life.
Motherhood brought years of spiritual journey work. From contemplative prayer and bible study to silent retreats and meditation, Catherine began to dig deeper for meaning and purpose that went far beyond the world’s definition of success. Through a practice of yoga, art and meditation, Catherine has learned to comfortably and joyfully live inside her own skin. Finding a connection to her physical body was the "missing link" to living fully in the here and now. Teaching and sharing these practices with others has enabled Catherine to grow light and love in the world, transcending the need to define a successful life.
Catherine is a Houston, TX native and currently lives with her husband of 23 years and two of their three children in Taylor Lake Village, TX.
